if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

Democrats love to cravenly chase what they think is public opinion, except for Palestinians.

I had fantastic sold-out shows in Sacramento on Saturday and LA on Sunday. Excited to see SF my home the 94110 this Saturday for two sold-out shows to tape the thing . I have almost achieved my goal of a comedy set that can definitely end fascism. 📸 @bcolthurst.bsky.social

What Joe said.

Paging Gavin Newsom.

Wow @sfstandard.com : leading your opinion page with FOUR op-eds against teachers strikes. There was huge parent support for the strikes everywhere I went all around the district. We cannot fix enrollment trends without investing in staff. Who benefits from framing the strike as bad (rhetorical)?

I didn’t watch the SOTU. I assume he said a bunch of racist delusional lies.

Scott Wiener, now running for Congress decrying Trump's attacks on higher education in the name of antisemitism, in 2024 laid the foundation for those same attacks by continually publicly denouncing protesters as antisemitic. One of many such examples: jewishcaucus.legislature.ca.gov/news/jewish-...

Democrats don’t spend a “disproportionate amount of time talking about pronouns.” Republicans do. The time Democrats spend is solely whether or not they capitulate to right wing talking points.

No one is getting left behind this time. No one is getting left behind. No one is getting left behind this time. We get there together or never get there at all. We get there together or never get there at all. We get there together or never get there at all.

My show tonight in LA is sold out but there will be a standby list at the door. Also sadly my dear Francesca can’t make it but the great Brandie Posey js stepping in.

Sacramento! Go see Nato Green tonight!!

I also always love doing this podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1CWN...

Last call for Sacramento!!! I’ll be there tomorrow/saturday working out the kinks on the darkest hour tour before I tape it and then retire from comedy again.

Always love doing @thebugle.bsky.social podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/2rtt...

The right wing Roberts #scotus majority doesn’t care about our democracy. They just want to preserve our capitalism.

The LA show on Sunday is almost sold out. tickets still available for Sacramento on Saturday. San Francisco is sold out. If we do it right, I will never tour again because my comedy will have made itself obsolete.

IVO cocktail from Diffords guide.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Let me refer you back to my legendary bit. youtube.com/shorts/hNl4-...

Donald Trump won in 2016 and 2024 because anti-system voters flocked to him. Democrats need a strategy for competing with anti-system voters in 2028. This is, in some ways, a very strong case for nominating someone like AOC over Newsom. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/meet-ameri...

"Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction."

Stancil was wrong about the other thing but right about this. A lotta people on the left think just saying "single payer" and "oligarchs" is enough to win any election and that is not the case, even though I support the policies in the Full Left Economic Agenda.

This is so exciting.

I'm glad the SFUSD strike is over and the teachers won what they needed. Seeing op-eds fretting about learning loss as a result of a one week strike. Obviously the best thing to do is cancel ski week for all the private schools that are closed this week.

We are the laughing stock of the world.

See mass non-cooperation and street protests and electoral work as building off each other, not in tension. I cannot for the life of me figure out why supposedly smart people are spending time thinking about Democratic primaries in 2028 when we can't be sure we will have free elections this year.

I will be hocking your teakettle all week about my last tour shows: Saturday at the Punch Line Sacramento and Sunday at the Lyric Hyperion in LA. LA tix are going fast. Tix at link in bio.

I've seen a bunch of this online, mostly from people less credible than Stancil. I've been a union organizer for almost 30 years and worked on every election in that time period. (I also voted for Harris and protested the genocide.) Posts like this fail to grasp 3 universal truths about elections.

A fun thing is to get to the part where he says “this is not who we are” and imagine a certain type of person on here trying to pull a “um actually that’s who we’ve always been read a book for once” to his face

When centrist Dem pundits and politicians complain that the party focused too much on immigrants or trans people, or DEI or whatever, it’s worth remembering they barely lifted a finger in the first place. The right attacks those groups and centrists want us to capitulate to those attacks instantly.

flagging that the definition of "working class" Marquette used here is "non college graduate" here, but in any case the analysis here seems plausible to me

hi, my special taping in SF 2/28 is sold out, but I'm doing a big chunk of the material Saturday 2/14 in Oakland at Critical Hit. Catch me there if you slept on tickets to the taping.

I don't know what a Natomas is but the strike wave is spreading.

He just went up in my rankings for candidates for Cal Governor.

Rep. Ro Khanna just read on the House floor the names of the six 'wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted in the Epstein files: Leslie Wexner Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem Salvatore Nuara Zurab Mikeladze Leonic Leonov Nicola Caputo www.politico.com/live-updates...

With my kids and their teachers on strike today at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts.

Bad Bunny stole my heart today.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

And 105,000 caucuses.

My taping in SF is sold out. If you got tickets early, thank you so much. The last last dates are 2/21 at the Punch Line Sacramento and 2/22 at the Lyric Hyperion in LA. I will be presenting 55-65 minutes of comedy that will definitely end fascism. Tickets at the link in bio.

I will be with my kids and their teachers on the picket lines at SOTA. I look forward to seeing you all in the streets.

HIVEMIND: does anyone have a good short video on the history of the immigrant rights marches in 2006?

Today is Bandcamp Friday. This is the last time I’m going to ask you to go buy my classic* and legendary** work The Whiteness Album. If you do, you’ll get first crack at the new work coming soon. *eh **ummmm

Imagine having a past so bad you audibly shit yourself on TV as a distraction from it
